kdrama and kpop

I like the fact that there's no real evil bitch character in the story, not like other dramas where the bitch is trying to steal the guy from the main girl. Other than that, the drama mainly focuses on the relationships and there's not much of a main plot going on like East of Eden or Iris for example.



I like her character, very strong as a business woman but very insecure and vulnerable when it comes to love.

The end of episode eight was kind of predictable since he has to let her go somehow, but still how can he do it to her! The writers are evil, guess they have to come out with a new twist to fill out the other 8 episodes.

Episode four has some really cute scenes and also cliche and exaggerate scenes as well. For example when Kang Jin `saved` Ji Wan from the car while the car was still miles far away. It might be a reflex of him to save her but come one, the car is not blind.

Cha Kang Jin  to Han Ji Wan :

         "Have you heard often that you're like an idiot?

         What abot a moron?Pathetic?Simpleton?

You're heard that a lot, haven't you?"

I'm watching Will it Snow for Christmas starring Go Soo and Han Ye Seul right now. After watching IRIS it is hard to find another drama that matches the same level. I can't stay that it it something out of the ordinary, but it is a cute drama and I enjoy watching. Your typical love triangle story, two guys one girl and a bunch of drama in between.  I admit that I watch it mainly because of Go Soo. Who can resist such an eye candy? He looks slimmer now I find and even handsomer than before!

Go Soo is back! Did you miss him, I loved him since Green Rose.

Go Soo appeared at the press conference of his new movie "White Night" on October 21th in Seoul. He still looks good but he surely lost weight.

Stud actor Go-su has decided on his next work. It’s going to be a drama titled “Into the White Night,” based on a Japanese novel of the same title. Go-su will play the leading character, who becomes a fugitive after accidentally killing a man.

Having completed his military duty last April, this hunky actor has been looking for just the right vehicle to make his comeback. He has been out of the spotlight for over 2 1/2 years since March 2006, so his fans have been really looking forward to his return. The Japanese drama version of “Into the White Night” was aired in 2006, creating a sensation among Japanese viewers with its provocative and unconventional storyline.

Today’s hottest actress Sohn Ye-jin is already cast as the selfish and heartless girlfriend of Go-su’s character. Sohn’s character uses other people for her own interest and stops at nothing to get what she wants. She has garnered good reviews for her work in the recently released film “My Wife Got Married.”

This is great news for all Go Soo fans, including me. His performance in Green Rose was spectacular!

How can you not love this man?I adored him in Green Rose, very very handsome and good actor.

In 2004, a group of the nation's central theater figures pooled their strength and put on 15 carefully prepared works on the stage, one after another, in the span of one year. The response was amazing for a genre that has never been very popular, drawing some 170,000 people and an average 81 percent seat-occupancy rate.

Those people have been at work again since late last year, this time to offer 11 top contemporary picks and to solicit help from well-known television and movie actors and actresses, in hopes that their appearance will further vitalize the drama genre.

The latest project from "Yeongeukyeoljeon 2," as the special production company is called, is "The Return of Mr. Um," a sequel to "At the Marina," which was presented in 2005 and won the Grand Arts Award from Arts Council Korea the same year.

The play, which will begin staging later this month, has been generating a lot of media hype after word got out that Ko Soo, a major television heartthrob who recently finished his army service, is in it.

The casting of Ko Soo as one of the key supporting actors was decided a couple of months ago, according to the production company.

"I was the first one to recommend that Ko Soo come back to the audience with a play rather than a TV drama or a movie, because I thought it would be a good opportunity to make him feel humble," said Cho Jae-hyun, a veteran actor and a central figure of "Yeongeukyeolgeon," at a press conference on May 7. "After my army service, I feel like I have lost the sense of acting," Ko Soo said. "I guess I will have to practice harder since I've longed to act on stage for a long time."

The play is directed by Park Geun-hyung, who has worked with numerous renowned actors and actresses and is well-known for his imaginative and realistic presentation of plays and musicals. Park said that, although Ko does not have any acting experience on stage, they decided to work with him in this piece because of Ko's humble attitude.

Ko will be working with such veteran actors as Theater Golmokgil's Um Hyo-sub, who will play the lead character.

Ko also said he is learning a lot from practicing for the play, and is having fun working with Park and the other actors from the Theater Golmokgil.

The script for "The Return of Mr. Um" has yet to be finished, according to the production company, since Park is known for adding and taking out little bits of the script during the practices, making each line and circumstance more apt for different actors.

This trait has helped Park earn a reputation as a director who finds the right actor for the right role, such as Park Hae-il in the play "Admiring Youth."

Mr. Um, played by Um once again following "At the Marina," is to be the central figure of the play. The plot concerns Mr. Um as he moves from Uleung Island to Pohang to run for mayor. It focuses on depicting his snobbishness and selfishness.

"I think the audience will find funny the dialects and humorous situations originating from an isolated place like Pohang, as well as a realistic depiction of political issues that arise in the play," Um said.

"The Return of Mr. Um" will be staged May 23 through Aug. 3 at Wonder Face in Daehangno, the country's theater mecca in northern Seoul. Tickets are 25,000 won and 35,000 won. For details about the play, call (02) 766-6007 or visit www.idsartcenter.co.kr.
